6 Solid Reasons Why Interlock Paving Is Way Better Than Asphalt Driveways!
The Choice Between Interlock Pavers & Asphalt
When it comes to your walkways or driveways, two options usually come into play: interlock pavers or asphalt. Between the two, asphalt is seemingly the most popular mainly because of the low cost and speedy installation. The low price comes at a great cost since interlock looks 100 times better than asphalt and when installed and maintained interlock driveways can last over 25 years.
With the cost of houses and properties in Ottawa at record prices, lots of people are re-investing with upgrades like interlock driveways. Replacing a driveway is a great way to improve the quality of your home that over time will appreciate in value. When you combine A&Z pro installation with trendy new pavers designs from Techo-Bloc you’ll have the hottest front yard on the block!
Advantages Of Interlock Driveways
Interlock Paving Comes In Many Different Styles Interlocking pavers in Ottawa come in many different designs and styles. By combining 2 or 3 shapes and colours of paves you can create many intricate shapes, borders and patterns. Your design can be simple and monolithic or customized to match a modern or traditional home. Compared to asphalt driveways there are only 2 choices concrete and cracking concrete.
Interlock Pavers Are Colorful
As mentioned asphalt only comes in a single colour, black. With interlock, you can create more than just shades of black. Choose colours that match your home or contrast and plants in the garden. With help from our design team, you can have fun creating the colour combination and we’ll guide you to make sure it looks good!
Interlock Is Easy To Repair
Interlock may be one of the most versatile surfaces you can have on your home or business property. Natural or precast pavers are virtually indescribable and last for hundreds of years. Your foundation is not indestructible but with pavers can remove them, replace the foundation and relay the same bricks! The cost of the pavers can easily be 50% of the cost of landscape renovation so interlock repair is a valuable service. Asphalt driveways are not repairable and sealing only prevents damage. With interlock you can repair a small section of foundation or replace individual pavers but this is not possible with asphalt driveways.
Interlock Pavers Are Flexible
Believe it or not, these interlock pavers are flexible. They can adapt to the changes in the ground, especially during and after the winter period. This makes them perform better and last way longer since they handle the freeze-thaw cycles so well. Asphalt paving is one sheet so once the ground moves its just a matter of time before the concrete cracks too. Modern interlock driveways feature water permeability that allows for water to drain through them.
They Increase The Value Of Your Space
As we stated in our introduction, Interlock pavers are a great way to increase the value of your property. Interlock pavers provide a number of benefits that appeal to a wide variety of people, from the home builder to the average homeowner. Not only do interlock pavers look great and come in a number of different styles, but they outlast any other kind of driveway paving material available in Ottawa. When you want to make a big change to your property interlock pavers are a great investment. When amortized over the lifetime of the product the price is very affordable and any real estate agent will tell you that the ROI for a well maintained front yard is incredible!
